Highly likely. Maybe Soton only became offended when van Dijk came out saying he wanted Liverpool, thereby potentially reducing the transfer fee.Yeah....probably gone to £65m now.

Dunno mate,is VVD in a position to buy himself out,last year etc?
If not,unless there is some clause,I don't see the saints budging,depending how bad the dippers want/need him.

The FA will undertake an enquiry- that's the last we'll hear of it.

It is mate,so do the deal,don't understand why they reported them,unless they trying to squeeze a bit more out of them?

As jimharri says above that's a lot of money for a player who's just had a bad injury. I think they would want a deal at £60m. I'm just thinking that he wants the move but has been told by Liverpool to rock the boat a bit to get the fee down and Soton aren't having it. Can't blame em.Dunno mate,is VVD in a position to buy himself out,last year etc?

No,you can't blame them.

They probably made the complaint once they made and offer of 25m

It could well be that. Hard to blame them, really. Get the most you can for your asset. As "lamb" said, it's a serious wedge for a player who's recovering from a bad injury. But if Liverpool are prepared to pay it, so be it.It is mate,so do the deal,don't understand why they reported them,unless they trying to squeeze a bit more out of them?

Exactly. If it's so, and you think how they trashed Sterling for wanting to better himself, it shows them up for the hypocrites they are.They probably made the complaint once they made and offer of 25m

Interesting point made by the Echo: "The key to remember, though, is how much work Liverpool have put into convincing Van Dijk to come to the club. Unlikely, then, that they would have done that without being willing to meet Southampton’s asking price, whatever that ends up being."
Agree mate,thing is,I don't think the dippers a prepared to pay nowhere near £60m and are unsettling the player knowing he fancies the move,just opinion.It could well be that.

Seems to me like Van Dijks agents used our name to smoke dippers out and agree personal terms with the player then tried to low ball Southampton , who are using the agreement with the player to report Liverpool. So Liverpool either cough up the full fee or get reported .

Purely leverage for a bigger fee. Liverpool will have thought they would be able to get him on the cheap following his decision to go only to them. Southampton lodge complaint. Liverpool up the fee and the complaint will be dropped.
